I never met Michelle but we communicated by e-mail and she was always quick to reply to my questions. However, somehow it doesn't seem customary to welcome guests personally as it has almost always been the case during my previous airbnb-stays in different countries. But no problem, just stating this as airbnb does ask this question about the welcome.

The room was exactly as shown in the pictures and I felt very much at home there. It was clean, functional and pretty quiet for a bustling city like Bangkok.

The building is located in what I would call a Thai neighbourhood which is great if you want to get away from too touristy places and avoid all the attention there. It is a very private place in a very good way.

Unless you take taxis or tuk-tuks, you need to get a songthaew to get to the nearest BTS-station (Saphan Taksin). The cost is 7 Baht and it probably takes 15 mins. Going is very easy as the "songthaew" is usually empty but coming back, especially during rush hour it might be hard to get a seat, so either wait, try to catch the songthaew a bit before it gets to the BTS-station or take a taxi which I did once - cost was 80 Baht.

From the train station and to the train station (Hua Lamphong) I paid close to a 100 Baht both times but we always got stuck in heavy traffic. Once you reach the BTS, everything is pretty much within your reach.

There are food places nearby, but more market style or some fast food ones farther down the road. A 7-eleven is just across the street.

WiFi, aircon, hot water, it all worked well. The bed was very comfortable, definitely not as hard as many Thai hotel beds.
